Combining business and ethical principles

We like to do business while at the same time supporting environmental and social causes or simply ensuring that we safeguard our natural resources and support small local producers.

Socially Responsible Products

Bio Naturbrout for natur&ëmwelt

Bio Naturbrout is a healthy, nutritious multi-grain bread and for each Bio Naturbrout sold, we promise to donate 10 centimes to natur&ëmwelt Fondatioun Hëllef fir d’Natur. The money raised goes towards supporting specific two-year projects. Since January 2017 the money raised has been used to protect the European tree frog.

Cactus Orange Juice for UNICEF

Since 2012, we’ve been supporting UNICEF-Luxembourg’s multi-annual campaign “Schools for Africa” by selling a socially responsible product: for each litre of Cactus own-brand orange juice sold, we’ve pledged to donate 10 centimes to the organisation to sponsor an educational project in the third world.

Responsible Fishing

Committed to responsible, quality fishing methods

We don’t sell endangered species such as the emperor fish, shark, grenadier and “Skrei” cod and we respect minimum fish size. Likewise, we refuse to sell live fish such as carp and eels; we condemn any unnecessary suffering inflicted on animals!

Line and “small boat” fishing

We actively encourage “small boat” fishing, i.e. inshore fishing over short periods, a method which guarantees the freshest fish. We also actively support Icelandic fishermen who use “line fishing”, a method which ensures the sustainability of fish, as well as exceptional quality.

Local Producers

Eist Uebst - Us Uebscht

The “Eist Uebst, Us Uebscht” label brings together fruit farmers in Luxembourg and around the Moselle who grow apples, pears, strawberries, raspberries and vegetables too.

Since it was formed in 2002, we’ve been the exclusive supplier for these locally grown, top-quality fruit and vegetables.

This label has enabled a regional economy to develop; the producers have a real outlet as now they know for sure that they can sell everything they grow in our supermarkets.

Cactus Rëndfleesch vum Lëtzebuerger Bauer

This label, which was introduced 20 years ago, aims to guarantee both superior quality beef for consumers as well as a fair income for breeders. At present, there are over 160 certified Luxembourg farmers involved in this quality label scheme who follow the label’s specifications meticulously. The label requires strict quality controls, respect for the environment and animal welfare, as well as traceability of all its meat down to each piece in store.

Cactus Poulet vum Lëtzebuerger Bauer

In 2018, Cactus launched its “made in Luxembourg” chicken label.

Following the example of the Cactus beef label, the emphasis with this label is also on quality, animal welfare, traceability and a fair price for the producers, in order to make poultry sustainable in the Grand Duchy over the long term.

The label is based on a set of specifications which stipulate quality control at every level of production. With five poultry farmers, the production is small-scale, local and quality is of utmost importance.
